Creating Yourself

I believe wholeheartedly in discovering what it is that makes you come alive, inside….and it manifests on the outside….like a huge smile on your face, a lightness in your step, less wrinkles on your brow

Sometimes the “finding” of what you like to do is not really a mystery. If you pay close attention to what happens naturally, what comes your way seemingly without effort, or what you find yourself gravitating to. For me, I always was interested in what made people come alive I’d be asked to meet someone for coffee and listen to them talk about their options for jobs or schooling or what they wanted to do with their talents……it just seemed to be what I did….naturally.

Becoming a Certified Life/Career Coach was a great fit for my thinking preferences. Discovering what you want to do or what field of study to pursue becomes a whole lot easier when you use a profiling tool. I’ve used several different ones over the past two decades. My personal preference is the NBI Whole Brain Profiling tool as it yields greater results and is scientifically based.

I am also passionate about healthy growing relationships. I’ve been married for over 28 years to my first husband:) I am a CertifiedRelationship/Marriage Coach and my preference for profiling tools is Prepare/Enrich which has been used for over 3 decades with over 2.5 million couples using it.

I recently had the privilege of sitting down with a dynamic couple! Dynamic for many reasons really. First, they have been married for 35 years! They work together on a day to day basis, have 4 children & 2 grandchildren and have many similar interests and hobbies. I am not suggesting life has been a bed of roses by any means. But I did come to realize this one thing about them…..this one crucial key to their success…..

They have done the work! And still choosing to do more! They have invested in themselves and in their marriage throughout the years, creating the relationship and life they always dreamed of. That’s right; they simply discovered that, ‘Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.’

Both have used a variety of profiling tools to assist in understanding themselves better. With being business owners, they knew the way to success in all relationships including business, is to use tools that lead to understanding yourself and others, with the goal being peace & harmony…….and prosperity!

I was certainly excited to share my discoveries on both their brain profiles as I knew they would find value in what I would disclose to them. It’s amazing what our brain preferences reveal! For some, it brings great clarity. For others, shows how powerful they really are which leads to having greater purpose. And still for others……it means leaving behind ‘voices’ of those who labeled you, boxed you in, misjudged and misunderstood you. The “ah ha’s,” the light switch turning on, that which is revealed is worth……everything! “Since doing my profile I feel like someone came and took ‘invisible chains’ off. Things that have been negatives are now positives, and the direction I want to go in is that much clearer.”

My hat goes off to this beautiful couple for staying the course, staying true to themselves, to each other, and for their humility, “If you already know everything, you will never learn anything.”

In all the profiling tools they have used and all the work they have done, I was still anticipating the wonder they would experience during our consultation! I knew there was more to be discovered! The following is a post made by the husband:

“Ha, who knew? Turns out I am more RIGHT-BRAINED than LEFT-BRAINED?!?!?!

Though I have a “high preference” in the left cerebral part, dominated by “the analyst” – it is trumped by a “very very high preference for the right cerebral dominated by “the imagineer”

At the limbic level, again my right-brain “empathizer” is stronger than the left-brained preserver and even “the organizer”

“Seriously – I am surprised.”

Do you like surprises! Most people do…..it’s the little child in all of us! Looking for the perfect Father’s Day gift? Look no further! He doesn’t need another tie, or even an ice cream cake (calories calories calories!) Give him a gift that will help him create the life of his dreams……oh, and be certain it will bring him a delightful surprise!CLICK HERE FOR PACKAGES STARTING AT $57

I have completed numerous assessment tools that have been helpful, but somewhat abstract. I was intrigued by the science behind the NBI Brain Profile, hoping for concrete insight. The tool, and Kristen's consultation, have been the most helpful, enlightening and encouraging discovery process I have yet encountered. I came away with a detailed understanding of how I think, what I need to function in my "sweet-spot", and in what environments my brilliance can be best expressed.
I highly recommend (actually, I urge!) everyone, whether you are mid-career, at a crossroads, or just starting on the journey, to complete an NBI Brain Profile and discover more of how you're wired, how you function best, and what kind of pursuits will be a natural "fit" - wouldn't that be fun?
